We have opened stall at the Museumplain market (craft market)held once a month on Sunday in Amsterdam.
Until before the market, the weather forecast predicted rain during the market, but it didn't rain and many people visited the market.
About two hours after I got home, it started raining heavily and there was even thunder, so I was grateful for the good weather (^^).
Many of our customers were tourists, and some from Peru, Mexico, Israel, Dubai, USA…etc. purchased my items.
As Colouratura mainly sells Japanese-style handmade goods, so many of the people who bought were Japanese fans, and said “cute” and bought a pair of rice ball pierced earrings etc. I enjoyed such as the small talk with customers.
I don't plan on having an outdoor market for the time being during the cold winter, but when the weather warms up, I plan to have another stall somewhere. I think to have more new products by then, so I look forward to seeing you again at that time.

The Japanese cultural festival “BUNKA-SAI” was hold at SAKB (Nemo Sabo) in Amstelveen yesterday and it was a great success with many visitors.
There were many stalls selling Japanese food such as takoyaki, bento boxes, and Japanese sweets, as well as miscellaneous goods, and various performances and workshops were held.
Many Japanese and local people came to my “Coloratura” table.
I am very happy that people are interested in the small size of the miniature clay goods and the gorgeousness of the Japanese-style flower accessories…, and it is also nice to see them happy.
This time, as it was a Japanese event, many local people who speak Japanese well and like Japanese things visited. It was so nice to see these people who are interested in Japan.
BUNKA-SAI festival will be held by JACOP (Stichting Japanese Communities Platform) at the Nemo Sabo in Amstelveen, where the SAKB facility is located.
I am pleased to announce that I will have a selling table at the BUNKA-SAI Festival.

It was first time to sell my handmade goods at Sunday market in Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam.
It was cloudy but it was not hot, and comfortable weather to sell at the stall.
I enjoyed interacting with many people today and had a good experience.
A year ago, when I just moved to the Netherlands, I visited this market and wanted to sell my products here like this one day. It was very meaningful for me to be able to sell at this market today.
Since I came to the Netherlands last summer, it was my first King's Day and also first time to sell in the Netherlands.
Many people were interested in my goods and bought a lot. Even if someone didn’t buy it, they stopped and look at it, and said , it's beautiful！ or it's amazing! I'm glad that many people said that.
I also enjoyed the atmosphere of King's Day in the Netherlands (although I didn't go to the city center) and it was an interesting and good experience.
Thank you for everyone who purchased my goods and spoke to us(^^)
